Am I too old for minecraft?

So, I turned 16 yesterday and I have run into a problem.

I have been playing minecraft for 6 years now (since 2010) and I still love it. But with minecraft coming to Xbox, Ps3 etc. A VERY young audience has flocked to the game.

I don't mind, but my parents (who hated minecraft to begin with) have taken notice.

They have banned me from playing it until I become an adult when I turn 18.

They say that minecraft is for 'babies' and the average age of a minecafter is 5 to 11.

I would rather not wait that long, but every time we pass a little kid in public that has a minecraft shirt; I never hear the end of it.

I tried showing them the ADULT youtubers who make tons of money of the minecraft videos they make, but my parents just insult them and say their just like "Bronies"

I'm not a Bronie, but I'm friends with some and my parents have offended them several times.

Anything I can do to convince my parents i'm not TO OLD for minecraft?

N Lo you arent. I know people and you tubers who are in there late 20's early 30's who play it. There isn't anything wrong

Maybe you are, you can try Counter Strike Global Offensive for a cheaper yet good fps game or high budget ones like Call of Duty

As Nick said, you aren't too old! However, since you've already shown your parents adult youtubers and they still aren't convinced it sounds like they are pretty set in their opinions and won't change their minds. I don't know what else you could say to convince them.

Except for I just thought of this: Minecraft encourages creativity, how can someone grow too old for creativity? Maybe try asking them that.

You are never too old for a game. However, it's important not to be obsessive.

Are you serious? There's something wrong with your parents.

Na your never to buT when you are old like 54

Minecraft is for all ages, that s what the PEGI rating is for, games express our feelings and sometimes other features like our creativity and the way we think, your parents clearly do not care about you because making you play games specifically made for older ages probably won't benefit you as much as the younger ones do.

No you are definitely not too old, lots of adults play it and you are never too old to play anything! Also, with the parents, they should be happy that you are happy but maybe they can't see that yet, try not to worry

Nope! I'm 17 and still enjoy minecraft! I don't see why people regard minecraft as a childish game. I'll even say minecraft has a lot more content that most games these days!
